Path of Exile 2 officially confirms the release date for update 1.0, shares the gameplay trailer for a new class and new skills, and reveals free rewards for all players. Path of Exile 2 has been hyping up its new reveal at Gamescom Opening Night Live, with another showcase happening on August 27. Fans have been speculating that the next update would include not only a new class, but also a new weapon and plenty of brand-new skills. Sure enough, that's what is happening later this year, with even more releases on the way.
Path of Exile 2 came out in early access on December 6, 2026, and it allowed players to try out the massively overhauled systems from its predecessors with keys from Supporter Packs. As such, it wasn't free-to-play like PoE 1, disappointing some veterans and newcomers alike. The game has evolved even further in the last two years, and recently, GGG managed to fix a huge Path of Exile 2 NVIDIA crash bug by shipping a full computer setup to the company for its engineers to look at. Now, almost exactly two years after the game first debuted, patch 1.0 is coming out.
